fact that he was no longer in possession

Nina Van Zandt. Nina is character.
She has been rather unfairly guyed for
her rOmanticism and much sensational
gush has been printed about her un-
based devotion to the Self-cOnceited fel-
low who cared but indifferently for her.
As | wired week ago, she is not in any
sense suggestive of woman well born
or particularly weli-bred, but on the
other hand, she is in no sense coarse or
rude or boisterous. That she loved
Spies admits of argument. No doubt
she thought she did. That she was
attracted by his lofty bear
ing, fascinated by his impassioned
phrasings and brought to admire him
as a man of heroic mental proportions,
there can be no doubt; but that her re-
gard for him is in any sense love born
of just appreciation of his character, or
any weli-rOunded understanding of the
man himself, is obviously absurd. and
almost as silly as was the viearious mar
riage ceremony which she performed
with him through the medium of his

A Loving Embrace.

TO do Spies Justice he began to feel a
little something and with mans
strength folded her closely to him and
rained kisses upon her head, her fore
head, her eyes, her lips, while the poor
girl Shivered and shuddered with the
ecstacy of the moment. 1t really

having occurred she. was about to
pass away in the delirium of
her qualification. Spies was tender

weak, careless world. utterly 0blivious

looked upon her with no sympathy
whatever but with cold calculation
born of worldly knowledge, gave up
every particle of mind, body and estate,
past, present and to come, in order that
she might stand even there by the side
of a condemned convict, guarded ON the

nearly dozen officials and fellow pris-
Oners, reckless of their opinions, diSre-

Spies treatment of her at.first was that
of matinee masher, then of bored
and ennuied recipient of unwelcome at
tentions. and within a. week his bearing
toward her has been that of lordly in
difference, amounting almost to callous-
ness of the most hardened and unfeeling
nature. In this interview he seemed
really to appreciate somewhat the posi-
